Which is just plain wrong, we have a KDE www team and the sysadmins
who administer our servers. It would be best to actually forward him
to the web team if he wants to participate, but from my POV, I don't
that his SEO skills are of much use. I would be gladyl proven wrong :)

Also JFYI: at the FSFE we recently got some elaborate SPAM offering
help for exactly that, also from people saying they would be
supporters of Free Software. In effect they were just trying to place
links.

Regards, Myriam
